75% MOLECULES (Purple Bioactive Sugar-Free Chocolate) Naive, 20 g
Product detailed description
The smallest format in the Molecules™ range. A 20 g bar is a single sitting's worth, and it slips into someone else's parcel as a taster far more neatly than half a big bar would.
The purple colour is not added. Molecules™ is made from Chuncho cacao beans that carry the pigment in the bean itself, and Naive ferments, dries and processes them to its own protocol at the lowest temperatures the method allows. Chuncho is an old landrace from the valley below Machu Picchu, and its flavour heads for citrus: lemon, lemon peel, mastic and a cool note close to plain white ice cream.
There is no sugar in the recipe, only erythritol, so sweetness never takes over and the cacao itself comes through. Three ingredients, no emulsifier, no added flavourings.
Key benefits
- 20 g format – a mini bar for one sitting, or for trying the range
- Purple Chuncho cacao – an heirloom variety from Cusco in Peru, the colour comes from the bean itself
- 75% cocoa solids – three ingredients in the recipe and nothing else
- No added sugar – sweetened with erythritol, which is roughly 70% as sweet as sugar
- No emulsifier – no lecithin, no added flavourings, no preservatives
- Citrus flavour profile – lemon, lemon peel, mastic, aquavit, white ice cream
How to enjoy it
Break it into small pieces and let each one melt slowly on the tongue. Twenty grams is easy to finish in one sitting, but spread over two or three days you get more out of it. It tastes best at room temperature.

Naive: bean-to-bar chocolate from Lithuania that treats cacao like wine
Naive is a small Lithuanian chocolate maker with an unusual approach. Rather than forcing every bean into the same recipe, the team analyses each cacao lot for taste, colour, aroma and texture and only then decides how to roast, grind and finish it. The goal is to reveal the character of that specific bean, not to hide it under sugar and vanilla.
The results have put Lithuania on the map of fine chocolate and earned Naive a reputation as one of the rising names in the craft chocolate world. Some bars are experiments you will not see anywhere else: Jaguar Tree Cacao made from the rare Theobroma bicolor, Ambrosia, a dark chocolate with bee pollen and honey, Kefir dark-milk, and the sugar-free Molecules series. More than twenty of them are on the shelf at BJP Store.
